Lately, Windows Defender has warned quite a number of users about their computers being at risk. According to Microsoft’s antivirus program, it appears that multiple Trojan threats are attacking systems since Windows Defender displays around 10 warnings a day, without actually deleting the threats. Here’s how some users described Windows Defender’s unusual behavior: Worried about these warnings, users run full scans but continue to receive notifications about Trojan threats even during the scan. Strangely enough, at the end of the scan, Windows Defender reports no problems. Soon after, it continues to display Trojan alerts. The Trojan is listed as Trojan:win32/skeeyah.A!rfn In such situations, the best option would be to perform a clean install in order to eliminate all errors and threats. For the time being, Microsoft’s Support Team hasn’t replied to this forum thread and we can’t say for sure whether or not Windows Defender’s warnings are genuine. On the other hand, given Windows Defender’s strange behavior, it is also possible that the threat alerts could be generated by bugs. However, since prevention is best, you should perform a full system scan and a clean install just to be sure. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
